Going to WAR with Your Metly Fielders

[Edgy MD]

This is easier. Just asking for the top ten Mets with regard to career defensive WAR. No per-600 mysteries.

For the purposes of this thread I'm (A) using baseball-reference's measure of dWAR, and ( stipulating that I while I consider the pursuit of defensive WAR to be a noble purpose, I believe our and baseball-reference's efforts to have approached meaningful accuracy, but probably not arrived anywhere within spitting distance.

LWFS's gonna be in for a rude awakening. (So was I, when I looked up Keith's dWAR years ago).

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Figured it was borderline, at best.

Okay, then...

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, if Keith doesn't destroy all faith a living being can have in defensive WAR, than nothing will.

Robin Ventura?

[Edgy MD]

Ventura completes our quiz of Mets effective in the vague skill of collecting dWAR. Thankyou for playing.
